The Little League Softball Division (also known as the Major Division) is for girls ages 10-12 (5th and 6th grade).
The Major Division takes the skills used in the Minor Division and improves on them. The diamond used is a 60-foot diamond and the pitching distance is 40 feet.
The local league has an option to choose a Tournament Team (or "All Stars") of 10-12-year-olds from within this division, and the team may enter the International Tournament.
The culmination of the International Tournament is the Little League Baseball World Series, featuring teams from around the world. All expenses for the teams advancing to the World Series (travel, meals and housing) are paid by Little League International.
